Sorry to hijack the thread but my TM Warthog is so heavy and the force needed to move it from centre is annoying me in the Apache, would a simple extension make it better?

Reiser have a number of replica Typhoon displays too, they are not aimed at the civvy market, probably not licensed to sell them to anyone who doesn’t buy the Tiffy. Hotas controls though, as they obviously have aluminium tools, I do wonder why they can’t sell blanks?

Typhoon had what they call get-you-home instruments under a hinged door on the right hand glare shield, in case of failure of the displays or electrical equipment. The aircraft also have a reversionary mode which allows some simple data. Aside from that I hear its all PVI controlled and Hotas. On the tactile though, if you look at the Typhoons left and right side panels the tactile switches all have different shaped switch tops.

Good question, it would only have been on the early Development Aircraft, I dont recall them being used though. We were scrapping them when I started on EFA but DA2 had been flying for years before and the AMLCD units were still new and failing frequently.

Awesome idea, you might want to line the vice grips with some neoprene if you have a nice desk!!

When I started work the EFA2000 had CRT displays, children that is Cathode Ray Tube (Cathode-ray tube) an old technology which was not more advanced than the first production televisions I think, perhaps a few less valves! We upgraded them to AMLCD, Active Matrix LCD. I have been out of that business for many years no so not sure if they are still the same Smiths Industries (GE Aviation) units or something different, I do recall hearing much smaller and therefore lighter units were developed but perhaps someone else may know. Now they are looking at touch screen tech, single wide displays, awesome!!

Are there any plans or mods to build better looking and more ground assets in the modern day? Improved FOBs, Hardened Shelters, Haciendas, Drug Labs, Training Camps etc.? I know nothing about coding but it would seem a relatively simple task to make hundreds of destructible props for mission scripters?

This may help? https://imgur.com/a/P3cxe

Wow looks awesome, what are you using, 3D printer, CNC etc?

There are some older threads on here where a couple of guys did cube builds and others, I think it was @BHawthornewho knows a lot about projectors who gave a lot of information, if it wasnt his build and also I think they were using simpit.co.nz. The A-10 Cube projector project?? Perhaps a thread search, but there is definitely something on here similar to what your picture shows.

A-10C or A-10C II?

Any updates on it? I know when its done but I havn't been following DCS news recently?

Not sure what my 4 year old post that is quoted adds to this but I am not sure you own any of the IP that is claimed as being plagiarized, the measurements of the A-10 would surely be owned by whoever commissioned the design, certainly every military contract I worked on the IP was vested in the counterparty of the contract and not the manufacturer. Selling a Hawk to Indonesia didnt give them the right to measure and profit from publishing that data. That said, your time and effort and expense in obtaining the equipment that allows you to share such information should be compensated be that monetary or by recognition, whatever you feel is a fair repayment, but as I said, you are publishing someone elses IP, if it were worth the legal fees, by rights, you should offer a percentage of that back to the actual owner of the IP so they can consider what is fair payment?

So sad and so young, RIP man.

Just going to bump this a bit... I decided to get back into the A-10C without VR, something about the beautiful crisp 4K scenery. Anyone made any A-10C pages for Touch Portal they are willing to share, as I am staring making one.

Feel bad for hijacking this guys thread!! Well I dont know what you guys did, but she now runs a steady 45fps. I can read everything fine, just not the MFDs! Cable is on order also.

Maybe I expect too much, i can see it perfectly if i zoom in but cannot read NOT SOI from the seat easily and then the data on the screen is useless unless I move towards them . Messed around with pixel density up and down, resoloution and IPD and it diesnt make them any more, or any less visible, they just seem out of focus to my eyes. Im am using the Occulus wireless also.

Hrmmm, I have my resoloution cranked up to 4060 or something the same as the headset. yours is 1280x768? Antristropic was 2x everything else very similar. Pixel density 1.6 and dont know what IPD is? How do I work that out please?

Im about to bin mine, I did a cheapy. Occulus Quest 2 Intel Core i5 11600K 6-Core LGA 1200 3.9GHz Unlocked CPU G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB (2x 16GB) DDR4 3600MHz Memory - Black ASRock Z590 Phantom Gaming 4/ac Intel LGA 1200 ATX Motherboard Win 10 Cannot see the MFDs at all and cant see anything on the ground, also makes me feel sick which I think is the jittering, getting 40fps mostly. What blew me away was the depth perception of the cockpit, I did not realise it would be in 3D and it freaks me out and dogfighting is awesome with rapid 360 head movements, but I was thinking of getting back into the A-10C for some ground pounding but the unreadable MFDs is a game changer. I dont understand all the settings so I copied some Occulus Tray Tool settings but never attempted to load mods and shaders??

My favourite quote for this kind of thread: “No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time. You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant.” - Warren Buffet

With that accent, "Tally Ho!"

I just updated my old i7-2600k after many years faithful service and bought an i5-11600k The 1160k says 'turbo boost up to 4.9ghz' now if you are my vintage, turbo boost was something Michael Knight pressed on his speaking Trans Am called KIT. Do I have to press a Turbo Boost (aka Overclock it) or does it do this automatically when DCS demands MOAR!!! Appreciate the help.

Thank you. Quest 2 ordered.

I know I had to be 'that guy' and it may get moved to the other forum but I gotta ask here. Spec: i5-11600k, 32GB DDR4-3600 and I had to use my older RTX 2060 for now. So much information out there but a recent review suggested the Rift S as a good allrounder for this price Appreciate any advice about the options I have for VR, would only be for DCS and Racing, I dont think I could do FPS in one.
